Singapore shipyard group Seatrium has been awarded a contract for the topsides fabrication and integration of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel by an SBM Offshore subsidiary.
Under the contract with Single Buoy Moorings, Seatrium will construct several topside modules, riser, mooring, and umbilical structures, followed by the installation and integration of these structures and all topside modules for the FPSO Jaguar. The Group will also support SBM Offshore with pre-commissioning and commissioning work.
The Jaguar is designed to produce 250,000 bopd and have an associated gas treatment capacity of 540 mmscfd, a water injection capacity of 300,000 barrels of water per day, and a storage capacity of 2m barrels of oil.
Work is expected to begin in the third quarter of this year. Upon completion, the FPSO will be deployed to serve in the Whiptail field in ExxonMobil’s prolific Stabroek block offshore Guyana.
“FPSO Jaguar [marks] our 29th major project for SBM Offshore, a strong affirmation of our client’s confidence in Seatrium as a partner of choice in floating production systems,” said Marlin Khiew, EVP of oil and gas for the Americas at Seatrium.
Seatrium has delivered three FPSO projects in Guyana for SBM – Liza Destiny, Liza Unity, and Prosperity – all of which are working for ExxonMobil. The Singapore firm is also on track to deliver its fourth Guyanese FPSO project, which is also set to work for the US giant, named One Guyana to SBM.
